Encryption

As organisations seek to improve security for more types of data, data encryption and key management, while imperative, become more complex and resource intensive. Northdoor has identified the nuBridges Protect suite of products as key to our encryption solution, which is at the forefront of a new data security model. This model can protect sensitive information whilst also reducing risk without altering applications.

Protect is an integrated encryption, key management and logging solution to protect sensitive data at rest in database fields, files, applications and associated backup storage.

Whether you need to implement best practices security directives or need to comply with mandates like PCI DSS, HIPAA and government privacy acts, Protect is an ideal choice if you demand:

* Flexible encryption of any data type on a variety of enterprise platforms
* Centralized key management
* Complete audit logging
* Rapid, non-invasive implementation, easy CPU-based price model
* High-performance, high-availability architecture

Protect is proven in production use for business-critical operations. For example, it’s protecting millions of credit card numbers (maybe even yours!) for some of the most prominent retail brands in the industry. It is also protecting customer loyalty information for casinos; social security numbers for insurance companies; personal student information for schools. 

The Power of Encryption

Encryption is a perfect companion to strong perimeter and firewall protection – even if the bad guys manage to get in, as long as the sensitive data is encrypted no matter where it rests (and the keys are inaccessible), it will be useless to them. Encryption is also one of the most important ways to protect against internal threats, which some estimates put as high as 73% of all breaches – your firewall and perimeter security can’t protect you from internal breaches, but encryption can.
